Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a rearview mirror device for vehicles incorporating a radio-frequency reception system. The rearview mirror device comprises: a light-reflective surface made of an electrically conductive material, and at least one planar conductive element lying on a plane substantially parallel to said reflective surface. The light-reflective surface and said conductive element are capacitively coupled and are used in combination for the reception of radio-frequency signals. The invention provides a rearview mirror with great simplicity and very-low cost.
